I work with Microsoft SQL Server since early 2000. The product is stable and mature, and the best is the "integration". Integration with Visual Studio, with Reporting Services, Analysis Services, Integration Services. Having your db on SQL Server you can easily creates OLAP cubes with Sql Server Analysis Services, you can create your reports with MS Reporting Services and your DWH/datamart structures with MSSQL Integration Services. Fantastic product for your business, excellent the AlwaysOn functionality and in-memory tables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price over all. Also, the alwayson functionality comes only with enterprise version of SQL Server. Too much slow with xml data type, for that nosql document database (json-mongodb) are for now the best choice, I have to say. It's also a little bit "huge" in installation, and requires really a lot of hardware resources to get the best (CPU/RAM), and so the cost is high for the licenses.
